The real life heist took place on April 2 2015, and saw four elderly thieves drill their way into the Hatton Garden vault and make off with £14million in jewels.

The movie tells the story of what happened, along with the events leading up to it.

A thief, just out of prison, is given the opportunity of taking down one of the most valuable vaults in the world but needs some experienced criminals to give him a helping hand.

The group, led by 76-year-old Brian Reader, plot the enormous job, and then spend one weekend attempting to pull it off, with both the police and the Hungarian mob hot on their tails.

So it remains to be seen whether the men make it through with their lives.

It took place on Easter weekend, which is exactly when the movie is released in UK cinemas.

In reality the four men were caught shortly after, along with four others who also pleaded guilty, but we’ll have to wait until mid-April to see if that’s the ending the movie big wigs have given it. Creative license and that.

WHAT THE FILM IS ALL ABOUT

‘Currently shooting on location in and around London, the film picks up with a mysterious thief, who is presented with an opportunity to take down the exclusive Hatton Garden Vault just days after leaving prison. It’s an old school job, requiring old school skills. With real life twists and turns as though written for a movie, The Hatton Garden Job follows our convict recruiting a team of veteran British criminals all eager for one final chance at glory. Together they must stay ahead of the law, dodge hired mercenaries and make deals with the head of the Hungarian mafia.’

The film stars two former EastEnders actors, Larry Lamb – who played Archie Mitchell, and Phil Daniels – who played Kevin Watts, alongside Joely Richardson, Matthew Goode, David Calder, and Clive Russell.

The Hatton Garden Job is out in cinemas and on demand from 14th April, courtesy of Signature Entertainment.
